Investing and Growing in Concord/Charlotte

Avelo opened its Concord/Charlotte base on March 6, 2025 initially positioned one Boeing Next-Generation 737 at USA.
Avelo will serve eight nonstop destinations from USA: Albany, N.Y. (ALB); Boston / Manchester, N.H. (MHT); Lakeland / Orlando, Fla. (LAL); New Haven, Conn. (HVN); New York / Long Island, N.Y. (ISP); Rochester, N.Y. (ROC); San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU); and West Palm Beach, Fla. (PBI).

Avelo has unlocked a new era of convenience, choice, and competition by flying unserved routes to primarily underserved communities across the country.
